...treat the drug experience in terms of warped reality, of optically twisted images and superimposed patterns of color, Rooks and Frank are more concerned with the relationship between drugged and normal perception. Harwick, on Peyote, says, "I saw a yellow circle of light . . ." and Rooks cuts to a grey sky with an optically created circle of light in the middle of the frame. Through focus changes, we see at the very end of the shot that the circle of light is, in fact, a sunset. Through camerawork, then, we discern both the object and the drugged interpretation of the object...
Never Before. The spinal cord is a cylinder of whitish-grey mush surrounded by a tough casing, running through the hollow centers of the vertebrae and intervertebral discs. Inside the cord are nerve cells and main nerve tracts like a telephone installer's spaghetti wire. Although smaller nerves in the extremities may regenerate after injury and partial restoration of function is possible if the cord is not completely severed, there is virtually no precedent of rejoining and restoring function to a completely severed spinal cord in man. Dr. Murray offered a simple explanation of previous failure and his apparent...
...recommending that the U.S. make its road signs easier to recognize by broadening the basic spectrum of six colors (white, black, red, green, yellow, blue) now being used. The new hues would include purple for school zones, orange for road construction ("detour"), and brown for public recreation areas-with grey, buff and chartreuse held in reserve for future needs. So far, Washington, D.C., and Denver have tested the purple school signs with favorable results, and Albuquerque and Syracuse are now planning to try them as well...
...only race Native Dancer ever lost. In a three-year career marred by bad luck (he was knocked off stride by a swerving horse in the Derby) and a succession of physical ailments (bucked shins, stone bruises, a bad ankle, a sore hoof), Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's "Grey Ghost" won 21 out of 22 races and $785,240-surpassing the record of the legendary Man o War. He was such a favorite with the bettors that only in his very first race were Native Dancer's odds higher than 9 to 10. Retired in 1954 to Vanderbilt...
When John O'Hara drove up to Random House's Italian Renaissance parking lot in his grey Rolls-Royce and turned over his latest instant novel, he delivered the goods once more. The Instrument ranks considerably below the early and best O'Hara, but it is an effective short novel, cynical beyond redemption, pertinent as a suicide note...
